Kid Icarus Uprising On Amazon For Wii U

Several readers have pointed out that Amazon France is now listing Kid Icarus: Uprising for the Wii U. The game is available to pre-order for seventy euros and even has an image to accompany the pre-order. Nintendo hasn’t made any mention that it’s bringing the Nintendo 3DS game to Wii U, so this could simply be a mistake on Amazon’s part. Would you want Kid Icarus: Uprising on Wii U?

a survival horror game where you use your axe, to climb mountains and to use magic. then you will have to kill the bosses in cool ways and at the end his sister gets grabbed by a demon and ripped into a thousand peaces screaming right in front if your face

The thing with Kid Icarus Uprising is that the touch screen kinda functions more like a trackball so you can turn around really quickly on land, so using a second stick (the game DOES support the Circle Pad Pro) would put you at a disadvantage in multiplayer mode.

The Wii U has two more shoulder buttons, so the left one could be used to instantly turn the camera 90 degrees left and vice versa. Clicking both at the same time could make the camera turn 180 degrees. Also, there are four face buttons you could use for other stuff, in the 3ds you couldn’t use them since the right hand had to be used on the touch screen. So with those buttons you could assign powers to a certain button and seperate shooting and melee attacks. Uprising would work BETTER on the Wii U.

Thank god i didn’t buy wii u no new games on it just a shit ton of remakes and ports. I bought a New graphics card for my PC with the money i was going to waste on WiiU. Now i have two GPU that makes my PC 10x better then PS4

I agree with your assessment if you were comparing a PC to something as generic as a playstation or Xbox.

There is just no point in owning the Sony or Microsoft console when you can get a PC fairly cheap that blows consoles out of the water in the graphics and gameplay department. PC’s have pretty much the same multiplats, save for a handful of exclusives.

Nintendo on the other hand, you just can’t get their games anywhere else…. Saying the Nintendo console has inferior graphics isn’t a fair assessment as Nintendo never bills it as a cutting edge beast…. It’s sold as a budget console, that uses creative new inputs and gameplay ideas that you cannot get anywhere else… And after I build my PS4 killer in October, I will only be able to afford a Nintendo console ;)

Same here , I NEVER have the 3D turned off , unless I’m out of the house with my 3DS and need to reserve power. 3D makes pretty much everything look better on 3DS apart from a few launch window 3DS games which used 3D pathetically…

Tales of the abyss on 3DS (amazing game) the 3D effect Is crap on it compared to Ocarina or Mario 3D land.

lol I have great eyesight 20/20(I have no idea if that makes a diference or not), but I can’t play A SINGLE game with 3D on. It is too annoying, I honestly thought that no one used the 3D effect because it is just awful for me. Thought it was the same for everyone :P Turned it off for Zelda OoT, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem..

I also have 20/20 eyesight, but always play on 3D at home, but not when our to preserve the battery life. On some games, I can only have the 3D slider on half though, because after playing 6 hours of Mario Kart in 3D, real life looks flat and I don’t like it.

yeah, but what if it came out and was $40 or cheaper. Or even if they did something like, for those who own Kid Icarus: Uprising already if you can prove it with your game’s code or something then you get the Wii U version half off.

Don’t be a fucking retard bro. Yeah , I would be happy if they just ported the 3DS game to Wiiu and took the 3D off ? NO IDIOT. If they expect me to rebuy this game which I already own on 3DS , then they would have to add new lighting , textures , resolution , you name it , it would have to be there for me to be interested.

Graphics in this case are the key thing. If you want me to rebuy a 3DS game on Wiiu , only way I’m gunna be interested is if you take advantage of the Wiiu’s HD capability after ditching 3DS’s 3D capability.

And when did anyone say Graphics don’t matter idiot ? of course graphics matter. Wiiu will have amazing looking HD games on it. Just because PC , PS4 , 720 will be more powerfull doesn’t mean the Wiiu’s graphics are just not important to Nintendo fans.

I’m obsessed with Nintendo’s art styles and graphics within the limitations of their own hardware. Mario galaxy 1 and 2 look absoloutly stunning on the Wii for example.

I mean… if Resident Evil: Revelations was coming out to consoles with 3DS level in graphics, would you buy it? I wouldn’t. Just because Nintendo fans argue that graphics don’t make the game, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want a nice looking game. I’m pretty sure the graphics and gameplay argument is meant towards the new consoles more and how Nintendo went their own way, instead of making the Wii U a graphical powerhouse, not towards games on the Wii U looking the best they can.

Yes I would love to see Kid Icarus on Wii U. It belongs on that console! That would definitly fix the control issues and online matches would probably improve in quality as well. I would also love to see the game in beautiful HD.

I would buy it! Kid Icarus Uprising is my fav 3DS game by far. The graphics were so impressive and there wasn’t any slow-down or lag when playing through the levels. I would love to see them update the visuals for the Wii U version of the game. Everything else about the game was fantastic too like the gameplay and even the controls (even if you had to get used to them after a while)

This would be a great move! As much as I’m fine with the controls, the Wii U Gamepad seems incredibly ideal for this for a few reasons:
– It’s larger, giving the player more to hold and less chance of hand-cramping
– The player is more likely to have the Gamepad on a stand, being at home, than a 3DS. If you’ve got the strap, though, I guess you’re set.
– The big friggin screen!

The controls were the worst part about the game and they were completely bareable. What do you mean by game experience?? If you are talking about storyline, graphics and dialogue then you are mistaken. Best 3DS gaming experience I’ve ever had!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! I hope that Nintendo this is clear enough!

Hey little gamer long time no see. Butt hurt over nintendo making better games than Sony should not make you want to make them leave. Microsoft should leave; making a powerhouse of a console just so we can play kinectimals 2.

The way I see it, if Sakurai really doesn’t wanna make a sequel, this is the next best thing. Perhaps if people play a better version of the game, better controls, HD, hopefully more chapters(Hopefully 25 more to add up to 50), then that’ll raise chances for a sequel. Since the 3DS game was a bit of a hand cramp magnet.

Moron you have been gone so long, you don’t even know that in the Past week the PS4 was revealed.

Also that nintendo stock has gone up in the major markets of the US, Japan and even Asia. Now the fact that investors know the Wii U can run all game engines, and also it’s getting of ports from the PS4 and xbox720 help their investment potforlios.

March has games games games! That shall be releasing on the Wii U. One that will ignite the Wii U is Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Need for speed is coming and Lego undercover.

1) Nintendo first party showings alone will be beautiful and worth more in gaming and re-playability than any games on other systems. These are but the ones that have been announced some already complete

Nintendo just needs to hurry the fuck up. like at least put something out fuck, like at least give us fucking pikmin to hold off untill bayonetta like. p-100 and pikmin would suffice for me untill bayonetta which would suffice untill smash bros which would suffice untill a long ass time and shit like that like. Fuckin keep a chain going nintendo don’t leave us in this fucking drought with this great ass system jesus christ. and this doesn’t mean putting out rehashed shitty ports

1) Nintendo has the best development studio in the world, NINTENDO EAD and no one can disclaim this.
2) Capcom is in essence the second best development studio on the planet behind nintendo EAD.
3) They can make kid Icarus HD with added features for the Wii U, sell it for $19.99 and this establish another key franchise for future nintendo systems.
4) Sony being a Japanese company needs a Stewart and wise old general like nintendo to make it in the gaming world. Nintendo’s innovations help Sony have some one they can emulate from.
5) nintendo makes Microsoft at the least try to open up new studios so as they too can have more than only two real first party exclusives alã gears and halo.

If u add a cecond campaign (10-20 chapters or so) that happens after the story of the original KI U, then why not? Plus a wii remote and nunchuck is a perfect controller for this. Gamepad, classic, and pro controllers would also work out fine. being able to swap weapons on the go with the gamepad and split screen multiplayer along with a mic. For online would be. Worth 60 bucks.

“Nintendo hasn’t made any mention that it’s bringing the Nintendo 3DS game to Wii U, so this could simply be a mistake on Amazon’s part.”
Oh no, it’s false. Remember, at E3 2011, Nintendo has announced that Kid Icarus Uprising will be on Wii U too. Many website have actually a page for this game.

Sorry for my bad english, I’m french.
Cordially, a redactor of a nintendo’s news french website.

OMG I STARTED A WII U VERSION OF THIS ON MIIVERSE ND HAVE OVER 400 LIKES !!!!! A WHILE BACK… if this comes true i would be so excited the wii u needs that killer online multiplayer experiance!!! and this game would be it the 3ds version was gorgeous and the multiplayer online was sooooo intence and epic imagine it on the Wii U with 2 sticks and the touch screen WOW hope this is true!!

As excited as I would be for the likes of a new Metroid, Star Fox, Donkey Kong or Kirby, I would be happier to hear of announcements for simultaneously released ports that are coming out this year. Nintendo did promise us comparable 3rd party support this generation on the Wii U and would prefer to see a little more headway on that.

In regards to the other Nintendo franchises, how about an announcement for a 3D Kirby or Donkey Kong? Yes, I realize they naturally fall into their traditional platformer role, but look at how Mario and Metroid flourished with a major change.

Although they’re “just another Mario game”, the reason why we keep coming back for more of the same is because they’re good games. Platformers are fun, but they shouldn’t dominate the library.

New ways to keep gameplay fresh while utilizing the new hardware is still very important. I wholeheartedly agree that graphics aren’t everything, but we need new ways to play (if we’re to continue with old favorites), new IPs or ports while fully utilizing the capabilities of the system.

If Capcom can do it with Resident Evil: Revelations… why not Project Sora do it with Kid Icarus: Uprising for the U? They should take advantage of the HD graphics and improve everything from the original 3D counterpart.

It was the French site 01.net that first found out about Project Cafe (The Codename for the Wii U) first.
I believe it was also the French Amazon site was the first one to tell us about Call of Duty Black Ops 2.

This would be a great buy for folks who missed the 3DS version or simply do not own a 3DS. I loved this game and it was a blast to play. Seeing it in HD would be a real treat, though I would like to see Nintendo give folks who registered their 3DS copies with Club Nintendo some kind of discount on a Wii U remix. Even with the little stand that came with the game it can be a bit tricky to play so I’d love to be able to give it a try with the Wii U Gamepad or a Pro controller.

You know, if they announced this to be released alongside Wind Waker this fall, I’d probably buy it. When I had a 3DS, the game was really awesome, but seeing it in HD would be lovely. Nintendo could also put in some bonus content, such as some new weapons, maybe a new chapter or 2, and the Anime specials that were made of the game.
